Weighing In

Friday I boarded my scale for the first time in months. I had been fearing it with the fierce December and January that I spent couped up at my day job for loooong hours with limited exercise. Luckily I think my month of fitness reboot has been successful and the numbers were excellent (about two pounds lighter than my birthday). Almost ten months of maintenance is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. It was very motivating to keep going and push further.

I went to kick boxing again and it was great. Tough, but great. The instructor gave some actual instruction on form which was awesome. I felt tough and scrappy and alive. It feels good to punch through your frustrations. I like having the variety of dance work outs, yoga and super high impact cardio all in the same week. While there are standard moves in each class, each time is different so you can be distracted with getting the different combinations down and feel less like you are working out. I love that and I love that I can get home relatively early since I am an old lady and like to go to bed early. On another note I have been getting less sleep lately due to Mr. BB30's schedule which is not good for me. He opened a play and immediately began rehearsing another so if I want to, you know, see him and stuff, I have to stay up late. Ugh. Typically I'd go to bed without him, but I had a crazy creepy nightmare last week that was so vivid I have been scared to go to sleep alone (think the girl from The Ring sitting on top of you smothering you-yep, scary!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I digress. One day I will be brave and do abs class. Oh how that scares me, but it's the only way to firm up the ol' belly (so I can fight off Samara when attacks me in my sleep)!

She's knows I have weak abs!!

Taking the Bull By the Horns

This week I have taken the bull by the horns and got myself back on track:

Sunday: Bikram
Monday: Bikram
Tuesday: Bikram
Wednesday: 3 mile walk
Thursday: 3 mile walk
BAM!

I've also made sure to stay aware of my calorie intake and have been evening cocktail-free all week.

In your face, scale!

An Open Letter to My Scale

Listen here Taylor Made, I don’t appreciate or condone your stubbornness. I am here to let you know that despite your efforts to hold me back on my fitness quest and upset me with your unchanging number, I am disregarding your tireless labors to make me question the true results that Tape Measure continually presents. As a woman of decorum I feel obligated to forewarn you that I am on the verge of making a break with you completely. A target date for this break has not been established, but trust that it is currently being reviewed and seriously considered. If you continue to be uncooperative, I will terminate your involvement from my get-fit journey and delegate full monthly check-in responsibility to Tape Measure. Inches and clothing fit do not lie friend, and your performance leads me to believe that you are not a qualified judge of progress.

Let this be a warning.

Sincerely,
BB30
